openfinance_list_connections

Read-onlyIdempotent

Returns the saved bank connections for this install: connector_id, item_id, bank name, a per-connection reconnect_url, and an add_connection_url to link additional banks via the Open Finance widget. The reconnect_url reopens the widget in UPDATE mode for that EXISTING connection (user re-enters credentials / MFA token and the data refreshes in place) — use it when a connection needs re-authentication (MFA connectors, LOGIN_ERROR, stale non-Open-Finance data). It does NOT consume a connection slot and does NOT require disconnecting first.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already indicate readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds valuable behavioral details: the reconnect_url behavior (opens widget in UPDATE mode, does not consume a slot, does not require disconnecting). This goes beyond the annotations by explaining side effects and limitations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise at about 5 sentences, front-loaded with the main purpose, then providing additional details on the returned fields and reconnect_url semantics. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema, the description must explain return values, which it does by listing the fields. It also explains the crucial reconnect_url behavior and its use case. This is complete for a list tool, covering both what is returned and how to use the returned URLs.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has no parameters (0 params), so schema coverage is trivially 100%. The baseline for zero-parameter tools is 4. The description does not add parameter-specific meaning, but none is needed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description starts with 'Returns the saved bank connections for this install', clearly stating the action (return) and resource (bank connections). It lists specific fields returned: connector_id, item_id, bank name, reconnect_url, add_connection_url. This distinguishes it from sibling list tools like openfinance_list_accounts or openfinance_list_transactions, which have different scopes.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explains when to use the reconnect_url (for re-authentication), but does not explicitly state when to use the tool itself vs alternatives. However, the purpose is clear enough that an agent would infer when listing connections is needed. It provides good context about the widget and connection slots, which aids decision-making.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A4/5.0
Disambiguation3/5

The openfinance_* family is mostly well-differentiated by resource type, but several tools overlap in purpose: openfinance_get_account_balance, openfinance_get_accounts_detail, and openfinance_list_accounts all return account/balance data, and openfinance_list_transactions versus openfinance_list_transactions_by_item have similar scopes. The marketplace tool also bundles many sub-actions (search, invoke, install, subscribe, report_bug, prompt library) into one tool, and duplicates the standalone report_bug tool. Detailed descriptions help, but an agent could easily misselect among the account and transaction variants.

Naming Consistency4/5

Naming is largely consistent: the finance tools follow a clear openfinance_verb_noun pattern (list_accounts, get_account_balance, force_sync, update_transaction_category). There are minor singular/plural inconsistencies (get_account_balance vs get_accounts_detail, get_credit_card_bill vs list_credit_card_bills) and generic platform verbs like authenticate/connect/marketplace that follow a different style, but the overall pattern is predictable and readable.

Tool Count3/5

25 tools is at the upper boundary of what feels manageable for a server covering platform management, marketplace operations, and a broad Open Finance data domain. The count is defensible given the many resource types (accounts, transactions, bills, loans, investments, connections), but it is heavy and the marketplace tool alone packs a dozen sub-capabilities into one entry, making the surface feel larger than 25 discrete tools.

Completeness5/5

The Open Finance surface is quite complete: connection lifecycle (list, connect, disconnect, force sync, status, provider status), account and balance reads, transactions with categorization support, credit card bills with payment status, loans, investments, and investment transactions. Platform concerns like authentication, versioning, toolkit state, marketplace search/install/invoke, and bug reporting are also covered, leaving no obvious dead ends for the server's stated purpose.
